The original MerMAIDS
10 years ago Me, Anabella (Bella) and Nicole (Nikki) moved from Newark, NJ to Davenport, FL with a dream to live a better life. Today we live in the same Four corners area where we are loving life!
Hi Everyone! Iβm Yara Inez Cruz, a Maid and owner of the MerMAIDS Cleaning Crew.
In July of 2018, I was a cast member working at The Walt Disney World Resort Company making 13.40 an hour averaging 30 hours a week. I was grateful to have a job at the same magical place my father retired from, but I was always so stressed out all the time and very unhappy.
The problem was clear as day, that the income was not enough to support my two daughters.
I knew I had no help supporting them financially and I never would. I needed to figure out a way to SERVE my way up, and obtain an additional income. I started to ask everyone, especially single moms, βwhat are you doing for additional income?β. I met a friend of a friend who was cleaning vacation homes and needed help, so I started to clean. I cleaned like my life depending on it because I really needed the extra income to keep coming in until one day I decided to start my own business , and clean my own way......the MerMAID Way! From that day on everything we cleaned needed to sparkle! We knew that if we worked hard and left homes cleaned like it was magic, people would tell their friends and family about us and that is exactly what happened.
Today, 2 years later after a pandemic, we are still going strong serving our way to the top.
I personally go with my daughters Nicole ,18 (Nikki) and Anabella 12 (Bella). Itβs my duty as a single mom to instill good values to my girls and working for what you want is an important one. This chapter of my life is very dear to me and so are all of my supporters. I thank you guys for being apart of my story and look forward to seeing you real soon.
